Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud".

I fucking hate French people with their comma splices, and how translators retain the comma splices; I know that comma splices are mandatory in French, but translators have conventionally retained them in translation, and as a result every French writer sounds like the same rambling shithead in English, going on, saying numerous things, subclauses proliferating, hurting your brain, and in the end they all seem completely incapable of polishing a period.

I'm too retarded and/or sensible to understand what Deleuze is going on about a lot of the time, but I always feel invigorated after trying to figure it out.

check literally 90% of all english syllabi at north american universities. maybe a couple tenured old white men are still fighting the good fight in most departments.

that being said there's always been a shit trend in the study of literature that keeps dinguses employed. hack postmodernists, psychoanalytic critics, "new critics", whatever you call them they're the same shit. there have always been clearing-sheds of critical theory for talentless idiots who like books. unfortunately this one is particularly power-hungry and its adherents seem incapable of self reflection.

Are Anglophones butthurt that their language is outclassed by French, Spanish and German in regards to literature? Or are they able to solace themselves with the knowledge that their language is the most widely spoken (i.e. pleb tier shit) in the world? Or does this thought only make it more painful that the French and Spanish have outperformed English speakers, despite their numbers? Doesn't this seem to imply that English simply isn't a very literary language?
